The notice of issue serves to confirm what?

• A. That the claim is now in process in the courts
• B. That the claim has been dismissed
• C. That the defendant must prepare a defence
• D. That an immediate trial date is set

Answer: (A)

Notice of Issue marks the start of court proceedings by confirming the claim form has been issued and the claim is now in the court’s system. It signals that the case has entered the process in the courts and is on the court’s docket for handling. It doesn’t indicate dismissal, nor does it itself set an immediate trial date. After it’s issued, the defendant will typically be served with the claim and must prepare a defence within the laid‑down time, but the notice itself is simply a formal confirmation that the claim is in process.
